Ode to Yoda


Ah yes. One of my favorite characters of all time… Master Yoda. Yoda was one of the most renowned and powerful Jedi Masters in galactic history, who was known for his legendary wisdom, mastery of the Force and skills in light saber combat.  Sounds like modern day health care education to me.

The need for wisdom and knowledge.
Mastery of regulations.
Skills with technology.

The Jedi are considered keepers of the peace and justice in the galaxy (healthcare), with Jedi Masters (educators) often working together on missions with their respective apprentices in order to pass their knowledge and employ their abilities on the field.

A Jedi must have the deepest commitment, the most serious mind.

                                                                -Yoda

Fear Not.  As educators, Inquisit’s goal is to find the topics your need and want and bring that education to you. We understand what subjects are your pain points or even scare you. We package them for you so you can increase your knowledge of them and you can overcome them. No need to sidestep an issue or ignore a topic. Knowledge is the best way to confront and overcome the fears.

Named must your fear be before banish it you can.
-Yoda

Size matters not. I often say Inquisit is small but mighty. Our team is successful because we have the Force with us… you. Our valued customers who inspire us to deliver the education you need and want. You are our Force.

Look at me. Judge me by my size, do you? Hmm? Hmm. And well you should not. For my ally is the Force, and a powerful ally it is.
-Yoda

Just do it. I love Yoda’s just do it attitude and this quote teaches us to believe in ourselves and our own abilities. It is a confidence boosting quote that encourages us to go beyond “trying” to the point where you just do it. It gets rid of all sense of hesitation and doubt. To me it pushes the point that you must have conviction in everything you do.  For those of you who know Inquisit…enough said.

Try not. Do or do not. There is no try.
-Yoda

Learn new things. There is nothing magical about learning new things. All lifelong learners should know that learning is hard work, and knowledge combined with practice may make you excellent at something. There are no shortcuts and no books you can read to have the secrets of a skill simply cast upon you. You have to do the thing you want to be better at…over and over and over again.

Much to learn you still have. This is just the beginning!
-Yoda

Learn. Teach. When many of us went to school, it was the strategy to keep everything you learned close to the chest. If you knew it, and no one else did, you were superior. The tables have turned now—information is freely available. Now, the strategy is to divulge your knowledge base, so others “know that you know.”
Share your knowledge. Pass it on. Mentor another.  If you don’t someone else will and you’ll look like Jar Jar Binks. Messuh sorry. Messuh does not want to share. Messuh want to keep all the space-junk.


Always pass on what you have learned.
-Yoda



May the Force Be With You!
